The mother brought a motion for a temporary order permitting her to relocate with the parties' two children from Thunder Bay to Ottawa, and for sole decision-making responsibility.
The father opposed the relocation and sought primary care.
The court applied the relocation provisions of the Children's Law Reform Act, finding that the mother was the primary caregiver and that the children expressed a clear preference to move with her.
The court granted the temporary relocation order, adjusted the father's parenting time and child support, but dismissed the mother's request for sole decision-making responsibility.
